Amit is Ohio's first poet Laureate.
He practices medicine in Columbus.

His latest book Dothead has
received great reviews:

"Dothead
amounts to nothing less than a torrent of poetic inventiveness driven by the
inexhaustible poetic energy of Amit Majmudar. His delight in deploying
his formal skills combines remarkably with his wide range of interests to
produce a collection of poetry both riveting and enviable. Drones, torture,
immigration, weaponry, James Bond, King Lear, medical practice, Hinduism,
and the sex life of Adam and Eve are but a few of the subjects treated here
without any sacrifice of lyric texture or pulse. Majmudar stands out
clearly and forcefully in the overpopulated tableau of contemporary American
poetry."
